        Well, the normal expensive ones on the shelf at target or walmart top out around $199. There are sets that go for over $450 retail.

        But assuming $100 for higher mid range per box... 8 boxs = $800. Easy to be way higher or way lower.

                    Note it was the Louvre Mall, not The Louvre museum - attacked one soldier then got taken down by a second one.

                        I reckon I'm safe for now. My Vizio has been turned off since we moved.

                              We have a smart TV but also don't use it. We have Apple TV and a Quantum Byte connected to it.

                                yeah I have no desire to have a live mic in my house streaming to some unknown 3rd party. It would be bad enough if it was streaming to Samsung, but their EULA indicates it can be sent to whomever they want.

                                  Unfortunately it is almost impossible to find a "dumb" tv now.... I guess the only thing to do is just not hook it up to the network.

                                    Network is not needed... Hook up TV, set remote to HDMI-1, and add Roku, lol.

                                      This is what I do. To make matters better - I don't use the remotes that came with that equipment either. I use a Logitech Harmony remote.
                                      and all of the boxes are inside a cabinet, muffling anything they do hear.

                                          With so many devices moving to radio, I was concerned that infrared wouldn't be an option anymore. I'm glad to see Roku still including an infrared port - can't recall if the Amazon TV does or not.

                                            Does the harmony remote allow you to plug in headphones to it if someone in your place is sleeping? That was my main reason for wanting the Roku remote specifically.
